JANA is the peer-reviewed publication of the Society for the Anthropology of North America. We welcome manuscripts concerned with the anthropology of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. While elements of this research tradition are addressed by applied, medical, educational, political, and urban anthropology, among others, JANA focuses upon this region as an “area” by placing research findings in historical perspective and theoretical conversation. JANA is particularly committed to featuring work from diversely situated scholars that builds on critiques of inequality and violence to further envision, imagine, investigate, and enact actual alternatives to the ‘-isms’ of our time. We aim to publish manuscripts that anchor theory-building in compelling ethnographic grounding, and we are particularly insistent that our authors avoid the temptation of simply processing a case study through a given theoretical lens. Going further, we want to invite (and challenge) authors to bring out the reflexive and ethical dimension of their work: the what is to be done?
JANA publishes two issues per year, in the spring and fall. Members of the Society for the Anthropology of North America receive JANA as a benefit of their membership. Please visit www.sananet.org to learn about becoming a member.
Home/Field is a project of the Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA). The goal of SANA is to address the need for a focused voice and institutional presence for the anthropology of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. SANA works to foster scholarship and promote dialogue across scholars of North America.
We urge you to consider joining SANA as a member. Membership supports Home/Field, as well as travel awards for students and emerging scholars, book prizes, and other events and programs that support anthropological engagement with North America.
